Notes

Hash tables provide a fast method of searching for objects in a large list. Be aware that
the number of items in the table needs to be in excess of about 10000 before the hash table
offers an worthwhile improvement in performance over a linear search done using the
Search
function. This is because of the function overhead in the script system.
